I thought it really showed how either side could be the "good guys".
I think they showed that Negan has some good intentions. However what he's running is a dictatorship and misunderstood good guys don't steal other people's wives and force them to be in his harem. At the end of the day he's no closer to being a good guy than the governor.

I do agree that the show is trying to depict that when it comes to survival good people do bad things but this season all we saw was Rick and Co. murdering plenty of Saviours that were just doing their jobs at outposts who are no more evil or bad than them. I realize the "us or them" mentality of survival is on display but it's still not easy to watch or feel good about what the main characters are doing and there's just not a lot to like or feel good about anymore nor is there a tangible reason to want Rick's group to succeed outside of the fact that they are the main characters and I'm not sure that makes for good TV.
